Notes: 

You should sit up straight while drawing, don’t slouch, it causes back, neck, and shoulder pain and you don’t need that happening to you. Also try to massage your hand and take a break if it has a lot of tension or discomfort, it can happen when over working. As an artist you need patiences and focus, if you don’t have patience and focus, don’t worry you will improve. Don’t let the little things get to you, if you don’t know how to do something go on YouTube or Google to learn. Everything requires time.
